Just an FYI... if someone who isn't the original poster in the thread responds to the thread without quoting you, they're either talking about the topic or responding to the previous post. I was responding to the previous post, just like I am now.

Anyway, both his feet were in bounds. Would you like a screenshot? I'm good with the intranets.

He slows down, invites that contact, takes the hit, and then, it was a big hit, but he invites that. Like, he does that so well. I'm not saying he's flopping, but he does that all the time -- sideline, slow down, gets hit, 15 yarder.

This was the announcer's comment right after the play. Is he a homer, a sore loser, or both?

anyone who questions this call and asks the kid to be tossed is just a MD fan or hates Bosco.

This is what BY does. He needs to stop. Hate to see the kid get hurt over trying to get an extra 15. There was nothing bad about what Jon Jon did. It was clean. However, its the type of play football is trying to get rid of, and I respect it. Refs will always be over cautious with plays like this. The last thing you'd want to see is a kid get ejected for a clean play.

In regards to DJ's ankle sprain post oh boo hoo, seems to me I remember in the not to distant past an entire team had the flu for the entire week before the BIG game day and nary a word was spoken. Everyone wondered why the team looked a step slow.

The hit was questionably late. I have no issue with the flag but he definitely should not be ejected for it which he thankfully wasn't.
I actually have a bigger issue with the play where he stood over Dixon after tackling him on a 3rd down key reception. My problem is that earlier in the game the ref threw a flag at Jaylan Davies for talking to a Bosco receiver after a play. If that deserved a flag then so too to Jon Jon standing over Dixon. Either throw the flag on both, or better yet, it's emotional kids playing football so just let them play and don't throw a flag at all.

So, following that same logic there was nothing bad about what Bryce did by slowing up tempting the defense to hit him going out of bounds?

which is why the threw the flag.

what BY does by slowing down is certainly legal. BUT, as a fan of football and BY, I wish he would stop. Its unnecessary. MD doesnt need 15 yards to win games. I'd hate to see him actually get hurt because he wanted to get his team an extra 15. And then you guys would crucify whoever was the one that got him hurt.

It shouldnt have been a flag. Its why i hate high school officiating. Everything has to be done with just the eye. No help from replays. So i get why its called. Jon Jon did the same thing against Mililani. Absolutely annihilated a kid. Knocked him out cold. But it was a clean hit. All shoulder. But the kid was 5'10 160 pounds. Its going to look worse getting hit by a monster like Jon Jon
